Induction Annealing Brass Contact
Description
Induction Annealing Brass Contact For Crimping With RF Heating System
Objective To anneal a small area of an electrical contact for crimping
Material Brass female spade electrical contact with single transverseย loop at end 0.5โ(12.7mm) long, 0.25โ (6.3mm) wide and 0.03โย (0.8mm) thick, 1000ยบF (538ยบC)heat paint
Temperature 1000ยบF (538ยบC)
Frequency 310 kHz
Equipment โข DW-UHF-10kW induction heating system, equipped with aย remote workhead containing two 1.0ฮผF capacitors for aย total of 0.5 ฮผF
โข An induction heating coil designed and developedย specifically for this application.
Process A one turn hairpin coil is used to heat the electrical contact toย 1000ยบF (538ยบC) in 1.5 seconds. The contacts are in strips atย 0.75โ (19mm) centers and will run continuously at a rate of 50โย (15.24m) per minute.
Results/Benefits Induction heating provides:
โข Hands-free heating that involves no operator skill forย manufacturing
โข Pinpoint accuracy
โข Consistent results
